The newly launched HPE Alletra Storage MP delivers mission-critical storage to power businesses of all sizes

The volume of data generated globally is expected to double by 2026. Access, smart management, and security of data can empower business success but with double digit growth comes a new set of challenges, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With more than 60 per cent of New Zealanders working for SMEs, it is critical to have the right infrastructure and storage solutions in place to manage this data overflow. Partnering for success will be key.

As your value-added distribution partner, Dicker Data is proud to launch the HPE Alletra Storage MP solution, which is designed to bring mission-critical storage to businesses of all sizes, delivering enterprise-class resiliency, performance, and scalability at an affordable price. Alletra offers an unrivalled 100 per cent data availability guarantee and has a common underlying hardware platform that can deliver, file, block, and in the near future, object storage. Alletra brings enterprise quality, high-tech solutions to businesses of all sizes to accelerate and protect success.

Dicker Data works with the world’s leading technology vendors to offer our partners and your customers cutting-edge solutions to today’s greatest challenges and opportunities. HPE is the only major infrastructure vendor that has developed a single cloud console that manages compute, storage and networking with the HPE GreenLake Edge-to-cloud Platform (GLP). With GLP, Dicker Data enables partners to deliver storage-as-a-service, shedding the complexity and silos inherent in conventional hybrid cloud environments with category-defining, cloud-native data infrastructure that delivers a cloud operating and consumption experience wherever data lives.

Built for agility and innovation

Alletra Storage MP has been designed for businesses that require high-performance storage with advanced data management capabilities, at the right price. It empowers innovation and agility. The cloud-based model ensures HPE can release features more frequently, and as a disaggregated hardware platform, customers are not locked in to a generation of hardware. This increases the lifecycle of storage infrastructure.

Here's three ways HPE Alletra Storage MP can deliver for your customer’s business:

1. AI driven – Through cloud-based machine learning, HPE Alletra provides a predictive model of support and management to anticipate and prevent problems. The same technology enables HPE Alletra to transform the support experience through direct access to experts. Additionally, AI-driven recommendations improve performance, drive higher availability, and optimise resource utilisation and planning. Unified management through the single cloud console also eliminates data silos and consolidates backup and recovery.
   
   
2. Reduced cost and complexity - HPE Alletra shifts customers from owning data to consuming it, on demand and as a service. With unmatched 100 per cent data availability guaranteed, this has led to 99 per cent operational time savings and 65 per cent IT resource savings. Best of all, the predictable support pricing model means customers lock in lifetime support pricing up front. This reduces costs, removes complexity, and importantly, improves efficiency and productivity.
   
   
3. Improved performance – The ultra-efficient architecture is designed to deliver fast, consistent performance with industry-leading data efficiency. HPE Alletra’s unique, multinode, all-active platform delivers massive parallelisation for consistent and predictive performance at scale, consolidating traditional and next-generation mission critical applications with ultra-low latency and a 100 per cent availability guarantee. Furthermore, always-on data services and app-aware intelligence help eliminate performance and efficiency trade-offs allowing customers to deliver on recovery SLAs with fast, simple, app-aware backup and recovery, on premises and in the cloud.
